Book Description
Excerpt from National Park Service Guide to the Historic Places of the American Revolution These are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of his country; but he that stands it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly; 'tis dearness only that gives everything its value. Heaven knows how to put a proper price upon its goods; and it would be strange indeed, if so celestial an article as Freedom should not be highly rated.

Book Description
Excerpt from Here Was the Revolution: Historic Sites of the War for American Independence Part 2, a description of historic sites and buildings associated with the War for Independence, is meant to remind us of the reality and immediacy of America's long struggle to forge a new Nation. Essential as academic learning is, history cannot impress upon one's mind and spirit the feeling that comes from standing in the room where a great event transpired or walking the ground where a momentous battle occurred. Visits to these historic sites cannot fail to enrich our under standing of the forces which molded and shaped the aspirations and ideals of the American colonists during this vital chapter of our national heritage. It is my earnest hope that citizens will use this volume to seek out and visit sites of interest to them, and that they will also encourage individuals, private groups, and State and local governments to unite with the Federal Government in making the increased efforts that are needed so critically today to preserve our historic treasures.
